Integrity & lawful conduct
We reject bribery, corruption, misrepresentation, sanctions evasion and improper influence in public or private decision-making.
Responsible business
Commercial value should not be separated from responsible conduct.
Predict's approach places integrity, accountability and appropriate environmental and social consideration alongside commercial objectives.
Our position
Responsible engagement is part of commercial readiness.
High-value trade and investment decisions can create significant economic, environmental and social consequences.
Predict seeks to identify relevant responsibility considerations early enough to improve decision quality, reduce avoidable risk and ensure that specialist requirements are directed to appropriately qualified advisers.
Our public principles do not replace project-specific environmental, social, legal, regulatory or technical assessment.
Core commitments
Principles applied according to the opportunity and jurisdiction.
Environmental consideration
Material environmental impacts, permits, resource use and mitigation requirements should be identified as part of project and supply-chain diligence.
People & community
We support respectful working relationships and consideration of labour, safety, community and human-rights risks relevant to the opportunity.
Local and long-term value
Where commercially appropriate, opportunities should consider local capability, employment, knowledge transfer and durable economic benefit.
Responsible sourcing
Origin, ownership, quality, traceability and applicable regulatory requirements should be addressed for relevant products and commodities.
Transparent accountability
Claims, roles, fees, conflicts and decision responsibilities should be communicated with appropriate clarity.
Responsibility questions
Material issues should be raised before commitment, not after controversy.
Are the parties, ownership and authority reasonably established?
Are product origin, traceability and quality requirements relevant and documented?
Are permits, licences, sanctions or export controls applicable?
Are environmental, health, safety or community impacts material?
Are labour practices and human-rights risks relevant to the supply chain?
Are local-value, employment or capability-development commitments being claimed?
Are fees, commissions, conflicts and intermediaries appropriately disclosed?
Is independent specialist diligence required before progression?
Continuous improvement
Responsible business is a process of asking better questions and acting on credible answers.
Predict may decline, pause or require additional review where material integrity, environmental, social, legal or reputational concerns are not sufficiently addressed.
Confidential engagement
Discuss a responsible trade or development opportunity.
Include any known sourcing, environmental, social, regulatory or community considerations relevant to the proposed engagement.
